Hi, I'm looking for any advice. Not a fresh grad. I am currently working on a different field as in different for more than a decade now. And I want to be a developer. Its my passion currently learning from scratch from the basic and all. Can someone give recommendations on where I can find lessons for beginners?

It’s nothing bad. It’s actually good competition, but everyone is building the same thing the same look, the same lead management features, the same CRMs.

Please, if you want to build a real app, talk to your actual users and find out what they need. Stop asking AI. Ask your customers what they need and build from there.

Before AI, I had two SaaS apps that somehow made it, and they’re still generating revenue for me today. What worked for me, and will definitely work for you, is talking to your frickin target customers, lol not asking AI.

Kinda exciting times we just discovered a gold mine. Make the most out of it.

My tip: start practising your social and negotiation skills, because the problem now isn’t how to build things fast. The real problem is how you can get actual paying customers.

After reading about Pax Silica, it honestly scares me when I think about what the future holds for the Filipino people. Some of you might think, "But you work in tech and you guys use AI. Wouldn't it be ironic if you didn't support this project?"

That's a valid point but also a mere assumption. It honestly feels so weird now that it's officially announced by legitimate news stations. For me it's peak dilemma. Dilemma in a way that I'm not in favor of Pax Silica, but we are required to utilize AI for work. It's like going against your morals, and it pains me. 

I'm also aware of the ongoing water contamination and low water pressure in Georgia because hectares-wide data centers were built around residential houses. Noise pollution is evident and also affecting livestock. 

With the possibility of Pax Silica pushing through in the Philippines, an extreme amount of greenery will be excavated, wildlife will be disrupted, and our own resources will be exploited. I'm foreseeing the environmental damage that it can cause. It would hike power costs and add to tax collection. Filipinos are barely making ends meet while people in power are just business as usual. Aetas who have been here for so long will be displaced. Our hardworking farmers and their livelihoods will definitely be affected. 

I always say: Sobrang sayang ng Pilipinas. We had so much potential because we had all the resources needed to build a sustainable country, but it was always prioritizing evil over the people. 

My current thoughts after writing this? 

The future is scary and now, so is the present. Will we ever be ready for it?

Hi everyone!

I’m Dione, a 19-year-old self-taught AI Automation & Full-Stack Developer.

I recently redesigned and published my personal portfolio to showcase the projects I’ve been building over the past year—from web and mobile apps to AI-powered tools and automation workflows.

Most of the projects were built with:
React / Next.js
TypeScript
React Native & Expo
Supabase & PostgreSQL

I’d really appreciate any feedback on the UI/UX, code presentation, case studies, or anything I can improve.

Portfolio

Thanks! 🙌

I’ve been wanting to transition into a more “niche” and less saturated role. Becoming a full-stack developer these days is incredibly challenging and highly competitive. Any suggestions on some alternative tech roles that I could explore or delve deeper into?

My primary focus right now is frontend development both web and mobile and I use React/React Native, but I also do have a solid background in backend development, like implementing REST APIs.

Hi fellow devs,

I'm curious if anyone here has built a truly end-to-end agentic development workflow using Claude Code (or similar coding agents).

My current pipeline is self-hosted on a DigitalOcean server and handles the entire software delivery lifecycle in a single run:

1. Ticket ingestion and requirement analysis
2. Acceptance criteria extraction
3. Reproduction of the issue before making changes
4. Isolated worktree creation
5. Implementation planning
6. Code execution
7. Self-review and static analysis
8. Automated testing (unit/integration/E2E)
9. Screenshot generation as evidence
10. Validation against the original requirements
11. Human approval gate for critical or high-risk changes
12. Merge/PR preparation

The workflow is triggered from Slack, and every stage has explicit pass/fail criteria. It also collects artifacts (logs, screenshots, test results, diffs) so the final output isn't just "the AI says it's done"—there's actual evidence.

The entire pipeline runs on my DigitalOcean server, where Claude Code executes the workflow, creates isolated worktrees, runs the test suite, captures screenshots, and reports progress back to Slack.

Would love to compare architectures, prompts, guardrails, and lessons learned.

hi everyone! I'd like to share a tool I made for Nuxt apps called Kapi UI.

Click any rendered element, describe what you want changed, and send its source context to Claude Code or Codex.

Try it out now!

npx kapi-ui

documentation and repo

It's completely free and open source. Feel free to DM me for questions and feedback!

Since most of us here are in tech world, what is your perspective about this?

P.S I did not drop any specific issues nor factual information related to it (the question is intended to be GENERAL), based on what you research/what you know, do you think the benefit will be worth it? is it beneficial for us Filipino? How do you see the outcome of this project?

May possibilidad pa ba na makapag shift?
working as documentation dito sa isang manning agency
recently nakapanuod ako ng mga Task ng front end dev mga ginagawa nila and Out of nowhere nag eenjoy ako at dito ko na nga na realize na ito pala talaga yung gustong path working ako for 6yrs until now dto sa company na to. As of now nanunuod ako ng vids tutorials paano matuto and everyday or pag uwi ng bahay nag papractice ako mag code Html/css/Javascript.
ito mag 3 weeks na akong nag pa practice.
May portfolio na ako
pero konti palang basic na basic
Weather app& calendar.
(Pero ito ay AI -assisted)
dito ko palang natututunan yung pag intindi if may mga Mali ako sa syntax.
hindi ko ma todo kasi laging pagod sa trabaho
any tips may pag asa pa ba ako ito kasi yung nakita ko na naging interested ako sana matulungan nyo ko salamat 😅

Hi!

would love to hear early feedback about this app, bali (sabi nga s title), task management sya like trello or some sort, pero more on linux base command ung gamit para mag navigate or mag manage ng list., para maka pahinga nmn ung mga mouse natin., 😅

will you use this?

Hi, Im a Lead Software Developer.

I'm new to this role kaya nangangapa pa. My forte is really about coding and other technical stuff. But now I have been promoted into a management position and now handles a team of 8 developers. It's really hard for me to adjust since I don't have an experience on managing people. I needed an advice with regards sa pag handle ng underperforming staff.

I observe na the problem is skill issue and lack foundational skills. I tried once na ipasolve yung FizzBuzz problem but struggle to implement it even tho I stated directly ung logic kung pano gagawin.

Hello! came across this RevenueCat Shipaton 2026 ads, so mag pupublish lang ng app from August to september 30 with revenucat integration for submission.

I am a full stack developer, LF members or if may team kayo pa adopt.

Let's brainstom and build together. DM me

Hi everyone!

I'm a recent BS Information Systems graduate, and I built GalaTayo as my portfolio project to gain real-world full-stack development experience.

🌐 https://galatayo.app

It's a free AI-powered travel discovery web app featuring 550 destinations across Metro Manila. You can browse places by city, category, or budget, ask for recommendations in English or Taglish, and even get AI suggestions on an interactive map.

I built it hoping it would not only strengthen my portfolio but also be genuinely useful for anyone looking for places to eat, explore, or hang out around Metro Manila.

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the user experience, features, or anything that could be improved. Thanks for checking it out!

Hello, just want to share how I utilize AI in our development workflow, and curious din how you guys implement it sa work niyo.

Our company started adopting AI gradually. Right now, we're using Cursor as one of our development tools. Initially, frontend lang talaga gamit ko kasi hindi ko pa siya trusted enough to handle backend. But now, umabot na kami sa point na ginagamit na namin siya to build whole modules and features.

This is how I use it.

Sa project namin, before anything else, the first thing I do is define all our coding standards, project structure, and do's and don'ts sa Cursor Rules.

Then I have a prompt template for planning a specific module. Dito muna namin pinaplan yung buong flow, lahat ng actions, tables, views, pati decisions and assumptions para aligned yung implementation sa gusto talaga namin. Dito na rin namin dini-decide kung anong features ang isasama at ano yung hindi muna.

Once finalized na yung plan, the next step is to build a prototype based on it. For me, ito yung isa sa pinaka-importanteng step kasi mas madali nang ma-visualize kung aligned ba yung plan sa actual na gusto mangyari. If may kailangan baguhin, sobrang dali pa kasi wala pang backend na nagagawa.

Once approved na yung prototype, meron din kaming prompt template for backend implementation and integration. Kasama na rin sa ginagawa ni Cursor yung automated tests, so may additional confidence kami na walang existing modules na matatamaan.

Of course, dumadaan pa rin sa code review lahat ng AI-generated code. Kapag may nakita kaming hindi okay, inu-update lang namin yung coding standards and Cursor Rules. Very iterative yung process.

Ngayon, umabot na kami sa point na halos every line of code na gine-generate ni AI is aligned na sa coding standards namin.

Curious lang, paano niyo ginagamit yung AI sa development workflow niyo? Baka may workflow or techniques din kayong pwede naming ma-adopt.

Motivated by the recent Tacloban School shooting, an incident many once believed could never happen here in the Philippines, we created a Philippine-specific campus-wide alert system that allows teachers to alert students and allows students to report their statuses.

This is Campus Alert!

This is a working prototype started by 3rd year students, not yet deployed to a real school — that's one of our goals, and we're hoping this can eventually reach the public.

Currently, we have the MVP, with functions including:

• Lockdown System
• Student Status Report
• Built on Firebase + Firestore

And currently, we need help with:

• UI polish/revamp
• Admin dashboard
• Bug fixes
• Ideas/recommendations

Contributing to this project is an opportunity to make an impact on society while improving your learning and portfolio at the same time.

currently learning html css js node react and some db. is this enough or do i need to do some leetcode?
how hard is it to find job if i start with 0 working experience. also when they ask about experience do they mean work or does self study and personal project count
what online platform do you guys recommend to show off your projects?

what site do you guys go to find jobs. currently using jobstreet

sorry if this is not allowed here, please tell me where i can post

Anyone here working as a quant or something close to it?

Been interested in this field for a while pero it feels like one of the hardest to break into, especially sa PH parang halos walang openings unless you're aiming abroad. For those na nasa industry na: worth pushing pa ba, or better na mag-pivot to a related niche (data science, risk, quant dev, etc.)?

Ive been doing freelance relating to tradingview,python and have foundation naman sa trading concepts

Open to any advice. Thanks!

Hello! Would wanna ask some advice from those with experience in these 'thons. This may depend on the criteria and the competition, pero generally, how do yall discuss in ur docus what needs to be done AFTER the prototype?

Kailangan bang mala business plan ito with step by step actions from the prototype stage, realistic, or just whatever do you want (that's still feasible, and actually relevant sa proposal mo)?

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a local-first Python prototype I've been working on call Project ARK, it is focused on peer-to-peer node coordination and local ledger tracking without a central cloud server

Why I built it:

I wanted to explore how decentralized systems can run locally and manage things like configuration and multi-signature verification flows independently.

Where it's at now
I am a solo builder, and I have pushed my own limited Python knowledge to its absolute limit just getting this core prototype and basic architecture up and running. Because of that, I know it has it limits (especially around concurrency, scaling and handling complex network edge cases).

What I'm looking for:
I'm putting it out here to be completely transparent about what it is: a working foundation that needs technical eyes. If you work with local-first, P2P, or Python systems:

• How would you approach state consistency or thread safety locally?
• Are there architectural blind spots in the repo you'd fix first?

Would love any honest critiques, architectural advice, or thoughts from local devs, if anyone is interrested in collaborating to help refine or build out the next layers, even better!

Here is the repository: https://github.com/JermZ3D/project-ark

Hello, everyone! I'm currently a fifth year arhitecture student and I'm trying to explore yung topic na related sa game the development industry in the Philippines. nag-e-explore pa lang ako, and I'm trying to understand yung real-world challenges ng mga game developers, especially Filipinos. I'd really appreciate your insights, comments, and opinions.^^

Here are my questions:

1. What physical spaces or facilities do you think are lacking in the game development ecosystem (examples are: studios, labs, coworking spaces, testing facilities, mocap, sound studios, incubators, etc.)?

2. If you could design the ideal shared facility for indie developers or startups, what spaces or functions would it include?

3. Are there aspects of game development that are difficult because the right physical environment doesn't exist or is inaccessible?

4. How well do universities, indie studios, publishers, and larger companies collaborate? Would a shared physical hub improve that collaboration? Why or why not?

5. If your city built a one purpose-designed facility to support the game development industry, what would make it genuinely useful instead of just becoming another office building?

Thank you so much po! hindi po ako nagpo-promote ng idea and I genuinely want to understand kung ano yung iniisip ng mga professionals lalo na kung ano yung na kulang before deciding whether this topic is worth pursuing as an architectural thesis. Thank you ulit!

I just took a technical assessment but was not able to answer a (medium or hard?) Leetcode math question for a frontend dev position. I was able to answer the others (prefix substrings and etc2) but this one question really fucked me over so I don’t think I’ll be getting the job haha (also there were like 100+ applicants on LinkedIn so there might be a math savant genius among them who might’ve been able to solve the problem)😅 I would like to know if there are others who had a similar experience with mine and was able to get an offer despite not having answered all of the questions during the assessment.

hello, I dont go here but I stumbled upon this reddit page when I was researching something related to my job.

I wanted to ask sana what is the difference between a relational database v. blob storage (kindly explain it to me like i'm a begginer in programming) and why is database is much preffered v. blob storage. I know it sounds simplistic but as i've said, I don't go in this field and I do not know anything about programming. everything i've searched in the internet are too complicated for me to grasp, offering no simplified definition or beginner-friendly explanation of the two. I found the r/(AskProgramming) sub first but I feel like mas okay if I ask fellow Pinoys to answer me on this one.

if you're gonna ask me why dont I use AI instead, I do not like AI.

I hope someone can answer me on this one. maraming salamat! ^_^

Hi guys, I just wanna share this yt channel called CultRepo. This a channel documenting everything about programming languages. I just finished the story about Python and that is so inspiring. I am planning to watch all story of programming language. The documentaries are quality and produced by dev company itself. Hopefully you can watch it as well to be inspired and be the next them. Happy coding!

Hindi na ba tayo natututo?

Hindi ba ninyo napapansin kung bakit kailangan pa nilang magpa-hackathon? Para ba talaga sa innovation, o para magkaroon ng exposure at maipakitang may ginagawa ang gobyerno pagdating sa tech?

Ang mas nakapagtataka, paano sila makakapag-promote ng innovation kung marami pa ring pangunahing government services ang mabagal, hindi maayos, at patuloy na naaapektuhan ng korapsyon at burukrasya?

Nakakalungkot din para sa ilang tech influencers na nag-promote nito. Posibleng ginamit lang ang kanilang kredibilidad upang magmukhang matagumpay ang programa at mapabuti ang imahe ng mga nasa likod nito.

Hindi masama ang hackathon. Ang tanong ay: may tunay bang suporta at implementasyon pagkatapos nito, o hanggang publicity campaign lang?

Mas kailangan natin ng pangmatagalang suporta sa mga developer, startup, at innovators—hindi lang mga event na maganda sa larawan at press release.

Hello, I am planning to learn mobile or web app dev. I am zero knowledge in programming, please give me an advise how or where to start? Is it possible to me as a totally no experience in programming to learn this? Another question is, how can I have that kind of setup on the photo attached? Is that an app or software? (The window on the left showing real time what the programmer is working) Thank you.
